Here's how Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), describes the presentation that occurred at the Spring 2010 CNI Membership meeting in April.
This presentation describes a wonderful project at the University of Oregon which helps students to understand the uses of primary source materials, and also to think about their own roles as creators of such materials, and as prospective contributors to the collective social record. Technology comes into play, of course, but is very much in the background in some sense. It seems to me that the ideas here can be readily adapted and used by a wide range of institutions. If you are not familiar with this project, the video of this presentation is worth watching.
Access the Video via YouTube or Vimeo. It runs 65 minutes.
